Telemus is thrilled to announce that Financial Life Advisor Lauren Genuardi recently passed her CFP® exam to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner. This is the highest standard financial planners can achieve.
“We are always excited to watch our employees grow and advance their skillsets,” said Josh Levine, CFP®, Senior Financial Life Advisor and Partner at Telemus Capital. “When our team takes the time to further their education, they, in return, provide an even greater resource of knowledge to our clients. We are extremely proud of Lauren’s accomplishment and lucky to have such a talented team that is so committed to our clients’ financial objectives.”
To become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree, complete coursework on financial planning, pass a rigorous exam, and demonstrate 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the financial planning process. Most importantly, applicants must agree to act as a fiduciary and put their client’s best interest first when providing financial advice.
“I set a goal to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner so that I could advise more clients to make financially smart decisions through tailored financial plans, investment strategies, and other guidance,” said Genuardi. “I’m excited to be able to help support my clients as well as the Telemus team with my new designation.”
Genuardi, who joined Telemus in 2017, currently manages portfolios and provides planning services for private clients and families in Telemus’ Chicago office. One of her primary roles is helping clients prepare detailed financial plans that are built to support their near-term priorities and long-term financial objectives. She is also involved with detailed manager research and analysis for the Manager of Managers program, which helps families create, implement, and monitor their asset allocation strategy.
